E <br />SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM <br />Medical Waste Management Plan <br />SUBJECT: HAZARDOUS MATERIAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM <br />TITLE: Medical Waste Management Plan <br />EFFECTIVE DATE: 08/02 <br />PAGE 4 of 4 ji <br />DISTRIBUTION: Stockton Medical Center <br />All spills are to be reported to the Environmental Services department for <br />proper clean up. Spills must be cleaned up immediately by a properly trained <br />person using appropriate personal protective equipment in relation to the spill. <br />Spray the spill area with Ascent A456N germicidal detergent solution for a <br />minimum of three minutes. The disinfectant should be sprayed thoroughly over <br />the spilled material. Spraying directly onto or into the spill will disturb as well as <br />spread the material. Contain the spill by placing absorbent material on the spill <br />and sweep or use disposable towels. Once the material is contained, it is to be <br />placed into red bags to identify it as bioazardous waste. If sharps are involved, <br />these are to be placed into sharp's containers for disposal. After all the material <br />is picked up and properly double bagged, the contaminated area should then be <br />wet wiped or mopped with a fresh solution of germicide. Once the area is dry, <br />the barricade and wet floor sign may be removed. All liquid waste such as the <br />mop water, and rinse water shall be deposited into the sanitary sewer, and then <br />the containers and sink shall be sprayed with germicide solution and allowed to <br />air dry. All personal protective equipment used in the clean up shall be <br />discarded, if disposable is used. If an employee exposure occurs, the employee <br />shall be directed to occupational medicine to be evaluated. <br />Rev 02/04 <br />
